Better vision thanks to shaded lenses

Every lens shade has a filter effect – and the hue does not make any difference. Most people are under the impression that yellow lenses, for instance, put them in a better mood because they brighten the appearance of things. From a purely objective standpoint, though, these glasses do not brighten anything. Shaded lenses actually reduce the overall intensity of the light no matter what shade they are. However, yellow glasses do filter a large portion of the blue in the light out, which creates the impression of improved contrast vision. However, to achieve this effect, the light conditions have to be adequate. This means that this effect will not work at dusk or in the darkness. Golfers, sports enthusiasts and target shooters frequently wear yellow lenses so that they can see contrasts in the target range more clearly under rainy or foggy conditions.

Motorists or cyclists should refrain from wearing excessively dark lenses (Category 4). Wearing them reduces the penetration of light to 3 to 8%, which could result in the late or inadequate recognition of brake lights or red traffic lights.

In addition to single colors, immersion processes can be used to create progressively shaded lenses. The light reduction levels of these lenses decline continuously from the top to the bottom. Sunglasses with gradient light shading are particularly handy for applications where the light conditions change in top to bottom visual situations. Consequently, many motorists like to wear them while driving. When the driver checks the displays on the console, the lens is only minimally shaded, while the driver is protected from blinding light by the darker shading on the top while keeping his or her eyes on the road.

Studies have shown that not all people tolerate all colors equally well. When choosing shaded lenses, it is therefore important that you are truly comfortable with the shade when you wear these glasses. You optometrist has shade samples available and you should test those before you select your favorite color.

Polarizing lenses are practical for water sports enthusiasts as well as drivers who want to see contrasts more clearly and minimize blinding glare.
